Weird error: "The application “Creative Cloud” is not open anymore."

The last instance of this I found on this forum is from 2016. When I try to launch Creative Cloud I get this error message (on macOS Monterey 12.6). I can reinstall, it works, then after a reboot or shutdown in the evening... it just won't open again.

 

Currently I can't install it new either. It does the install, then just doesn't open any window. My installed programs continue to work. It's new behavior, so the 2016 post (even if it weren't locked) is no help.

In weird instances like this on a Mac, the next thing I would do is try another user account and see if the same issue persists there.  This could be a case of user account corruption where the best resolution is to move your documents (and minimal library items) to your new user account and start using that moving forward.

I'll see if that helps, thanks! Remembered there's also https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop (which works) to keep things up to date/install from.

The same error. I also have left-overs (or so they seem) in HD > Applications > Utilities.

 

I have folders named 'Adobe Application Manager' / 'Adobe Creative Cloud' / 'Adobe Creative Cloud Experience' / 'Adobe Creative Cloud_5.1.0.407' (nearly two years old) .

 

This install has traveled with me over multiple computers (I'm not planning a reinstall) so they could be remnants that interfere. But I've given up trying to fix this issue and will use the url I posted above to keep things up to date...
